Get Ready for Hold-Upc for
Hand-Outs Halloween Fun
Ii Ahead for Eyeryone
. It's silly season for grown-ups
as well as for small fry and teen
agers, with ghosts, goblins,
witches, skeletons, spooks and
other good spirits running ram
pant. And what are they look
ing for? Food! Games, hmmmm,
but mostly food. Children do
not requir or even care for en
tertainment ol a formal nature.
Trick-or-treaters want to brag
about the bag full of loot. And
there's not a better bit of loot
anywhere than good old, firm,
crunchy, wonderful, tasty (and
O good for them) Washington De
licious red apples that are so
plentiful in our markets. The
family will have fun fixing up
all sorts of apple treats, too.
Better get busy right away mak
ing some of these good things to
have on hand.
Apple Cookie Goblins
Let the children decorate the
cookies with raisins, red apple
peel, gumdrop designs or what
ever they think up. Offer a tray
of these to trick-or-treaters or if
they're a grabby little lot, wrap
up three cookies in cellophane
for each hold-up artist.

Halloween Masks of
Aluminum Foil
This isn't exactly food talk,
but at the foods editors confer
ence, Reynolds Wrap folks gave
us a vivid picture of the myriad
new uses for aluminum foil in
the home. A timely use was for
Halloween masks, hats and other
items, and a few million mop
pets are likely to - go trick-or-
treating in startling aluminum
faces like these:
Tear off a sneet of aluminum
foil about 15 inches long, 12
inches wide. Place over the face
and. mold to conform to eyes,
nose, mouth. Smooth tightly over
tep of head and under chin.
With fingers make openings for
nose and eyes. Use cellophane
tape or even adhesive, tape from
medicine closet and while still
on head, wrap a long piece com
pletely around the mask. (Start
under the chin and bring both
ends together at top of head.
This holds mask firmly in shape.)
Remove from face. From black
paper or black plastic tape cut
eyes! Triangular shape piece for
nose and traditional grinning
teeth for mouth. Extra foil on
sides can be trimmed off and
edges turned under. Mouth can
be split open if desired.
Rosy Halloween Cakes
Along with other good Hal
loween suggestions such as
bowls of freshly popped hot pop
corn, hot mulled cider, chilled
cider, punch, wrapped candies
and crispy cold apples, we think
these rosy cupcakes when dec
orated with pumpkin faces,
witches or just plain hob-goblins
excellent and nutritional Hal
loween fare . . . fun to make,
too.

Party Pizzas .
Easy to prepare, easy to serve,
easy to eat, these party pizzas
are a perfect after-the-game
snack.

Spanish Luncheon Featured
Savory Fish Filets Like These
Concluding day luncheon of
the meeting, and eating foods
editors in Chicago found us
transplanted to old Seville,
Spain; our hosts, the Green
Olive Commission.- Main dish,
called Filets de Lenguado fol
lowed an apertif fresh from
Spain, called Sangria, which in
turn was followed by Gazpacho
Andaluz, a wonderfully good
cold tomato soup with toppings
including sliced pimiento-stuffed
green olives, chopped green pep
per, slivered toasted almonds
and tiny croutons offered. Some
thing to remember for both hot
and cold soups.
For Filets de Lenguado (fish
filets), melt two tablespoons but
ter over low heat. Add lVz cups
chopped celery, two tablespoons
chopped onion, two tablespoons
chopped parsley and saute until
tender. Add lVz cups soft bread
crumbs, one-eighth teaspoon sage
and one-fourth teaspoon onion
salt. Continue cooking until
crumbs are browned. Remove
from heat and add one-third cup
light cream or top milk, or one
egg slightly beaten, one-half tea
spoon salt and one eighth tea
spoon pepper; mix well. Place
stuffing mixture on six melium
sized filets of sole and roll up
jellyroll fashion. Sprinkle with
salt ond pepper and arrange in
shallow baking dish.
Combine one-fourth cup melt
ed butter, one-fourth cup dry
white wine or lemon juice and
one-half cup sliced pimiento
stuffed olives. Pour over filets.
Bake in 350 degree oven 20 to
30 minutes or until fish flakes
easily with a fork. Six portions.
Danish Cheese Doing
Our part of the country pro
duces some mighty fine blue
cheese, but we'll concede that
the Danes also do a very fine
job of it, having been at it for
a very long time. Denmark
Cheese Association hosted a
handsome late afternoon (fare
well to foods editors) party com
plete with Danish music, maid
ens, decor and food. Delicacies
offered among many, included
the following:
Fruit Salad Dressing. For a
Danish blue cheese and poppy
seed dressing of distinction, mix
one-third cup lemon juice and
one to two tablespoons honey.
Beat this into one cup salad oil
until well blended. Add one to
two tablespoons parsley; finely
minced and one tablespoon
poppy seeds. Beat again before
serving. Sprinkle salad fruit as
sortment with two tablespoons
finely crumbled Danish blue I
cheese.

What is your pet remedy for
an aching tooth? I never have
been able to find anything that
could stop a tooth aching except
having it extracted or" the herve
killed. However, I note it sug
"oil of tar" will ease an aching
tooth. Are you familiar with the.
fact that both ShaKespeare and
Robert Burns wrote poetic pass
ages dealing with the horrors of
a toothache?
Asides
Greta Garbo recently said: "I
never said I want to be alone. I
only said: 'I want to be let alone.'
That is very different." . . . What
is your wife using to aid in keep
ing her beautiful? Are the re
sults good? Tell her to try con
suming parsley regularly. Lots
of iron and vitamin C in parsley.
That's fine for the looks.
Changing Names
Another of those who had no
success until they changed their
names is Tennessee Williams, the
playwright. As Thomas Danier
Williams, his real name, he ap
peared doomed for oblivion.
When he switched to Tennessee
Williams his efforts were im
mediately crowned with much
success. He is now the world's
leading specialist in grim dramas.
Has collected over a million dol
lars in royalties from three
plays: "The Glass Menagerie,"
"A Streetcar Named Desire," and
"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."
That Old Song
The old song titled "The Yel
low Rose . of Texas" was first
published nearly 100 years ago.
In 1858 to be exact. It was pub
lished by Firth, Pond and . Com
pany' of New York. The compos
er was designated merely by the
initials "J. K." Authority for
this statement is the book titled
"Early American Sheet Music,"
published by Bowker of New
York City.
Horses and Women
Redhaired women change hus
bands more than those of any
other hair coloring. So claims
a student of life among the
married. He may be right. How
ever he names Rita Hayworth,
who is not yet 40 and has had
four husbands, as an example of
a changeable red head. Rita is
a synthetic redhead. She is really
a brunette.
Husband Hunters
The world's happiest husband
hunting ground is said to be New
Zealand. A bachelorette from
another country is hardly off
the boat there an hour before
she has received at least six
proposals of marriage. Recently,
3,000 single girls from West Ger
many went to New Zealand to
work. Now every one of these
3,000 young women is married.
It is only fair to say to bach
elorettes who may find this, sit
uation interesting that there is
a strong suspicion that most of
these New Zealand bachelors are
weary of doing their own house
work. That's why they want to
get married. Also, most of them
live in very lonely places.
Briefly -
Note it said Bob Fitzsimmons
originated the "corkscrew
punch." That's wrong. That
highly effective blow was orig
inated by Kid McCoy. . . .That
beauty shop that is open for
business 24 hours a day is still
in operation on West 57th St.,
Manhattan. If there is another
all night beauty shop in this
country, where, is it?'
Speaking English , ' '
A London actress currently ap
pearing in this country is very
critical as to the manner in which
New Yorkers speak English. The
Londoners would : do well to
worry about their own English.
Better English is spoken 'in Dub
lin, Ireland, and in Inverness,
Scotland, than in London.
